Thread: what random object did you shoot today??

a coffee cup, poorly placed when I was testing a 22 magnum trigger out. Rather explosive

Coke can at 1137 yard with the 338 and another at 1215 with the new 260 stoked

just a little sighting in this morning

Brilliant geezejonsey

@Neckshot shard bastard gong on the right getting a dent or 2 from the 300wsm at 300yrds my 40mm mild steel needs a few weld fills in it :p

I am going to sniper another random hogget tommorrow.

Shot a young goat at about 160m this evening... with a 22 subsonic.

Not what I would generally recommend as ethical hunting practice but a mate got a bit carried away and wounded it with an HMR, so I figured more lead might put it out of its misery sooner. Made it stop for long enough to get a bit closer and end the suffering with a headshot at least.

Good on you for thinking about the animal GB.

beyond a 100m they bloody drop like a stone aye?
the retained energy at that distance is allmost laughable 67.1 foot pounds, but seems enough on magpies

Yip, was a solid 2 feet of holdover!

so the mrs came home with two new fry pans yesterday. didn't think there was anything wrong with the old ones but "they were on special". lucky for me i'm circumcised, she can't resist 10% off hahaha

anyway, while i was removing the redundant pans from the cupboard i had a thought so I ......
cable tied them to a fence approx 270m from my favourite ridge and got out the hmr and 223 as they needed a run. They gave enough of a sound on impact to tell if you hit it or not.
ruger 17hmr with BSA sweet17 scope, 270m, left to right wind of approx 15 to 18 knots (according to the yachtie in-law)
the pans are hanging on the fence line in the sunny strip




223 Hornady SP training Bushnell 3-9x40. Guessed the hold and windage, fired 10 shots so not unhappy with 5 hits being the amatuer i am.

Had a crack at a brick at 550m, didnt quite get the wind right tho.vthen @lost stepped up and owned it!

Shot 3 rabbits with 2 shot today, not particularly spectacular except I was using Subs. Didn't think I would of got the penetration but WTF there they were both deaded
